Clueless Chumps Who Missed The Memo
Not everyone is in the know: some people missed the memo even on things the rest of us take for granted. They just need to sit with their own brains for a while and contemplate what allowed them to execute such horrible ideas.
Keep reading to see clueless people who made some pretty huge mistakes, and they might not even know it.
That Doesn't Say What She Thinks It Says
![bolthead88 Reddit woman with tattoo in asian language on her shoulder](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/bolthead88-Reddit-14937.jpg?width=800&height=1274)
When this woman got some Asian writing tattooed on her shoulder blade, she probably thought it meant "love" or "wander" or something.
Nope, that says "fresh spring rolls," apparently. She should have checked the translation.
That's Not Salt
![Rubylogy Reddit toothpicks in salt shaker being shaken into soup](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Rubylogy-Reddit-56419.jpg?width=800&height=995)
This person thought they were shaking salt into their soup only to realize that it wasn't a salt shaker in their hand, but a toothpick shaker.
Who would put toothpicks in a salt shaker?
I Bet His Password Is "Password"
![Urban_Commander Reddit key under mat with holes in it](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Urban_Commander-Reddit-63102.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Even if you don't have a mat with a bunch of holes in it, every potential robber knows to look for keys under the welcome mat. It's basically Robbery 101.
This is just plain stupid.
Poor Pizza
![SirValentine Reddit broken plate and pizza slice on the floor, with person on knees crying beside it](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/SirValentine-Reddit-72391.jpg?width=800&height=783)
This guy was so upset that his pizza fell on the floor that he tore off his glasses in anguish.
Yeah, the plate's broken, but the pizza is the real loss here.
Hope The Cat Can Jump
![SluggishStudent Reddit upside down cat door](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/SluggishStudent-Reddit-44561.jpg?width=800&height=775)
This person tried to install a cat door, but she ended up installing it on the wrong end of the door.
Now it's closer to the ceiling than the floor.
The Worst Idea
![PHIL-yes-PLZ Reddit man getting shoving something into woodchipper with his foot](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/PHIL-yes-PLZ-Reddit-31384.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Have you seen the movie Fargo? Do you know what happens when people get too close to a wood chipper? Because it's not a pretty sight.
Why would he put his foot in there?
Flaming Feet
![oknp_ Reddit man with shoes on fire](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/oknp_-Reddit-80176.jpg?width=800&height=1136)
This guy thought that it would be a good idea to light his own feet on fire.
We're not sure what was going through his head in this moment, but it couldn't have been good.
Goodbye, Food
![NYR99 Reddit food on ground](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/NYR99-Reddit-25279.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=33&left=0&zoom=1.06100795756)
This is what happens when you're in a rush and you're trying to carry two full plates of food. Slow and steady wins the race, people.
Protect your food at all costs.
Which One Is Fake?
![Kaylie_kitten Reddit movie prop $100 bill next to real one](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Kaylie_kitten-Reddit-69624.jpg?width=800&height=1066)
Somebody thought that they could outsmart the authorities with this fake hundred dollar bill. Maybe Ben Franklin's smirk and raised eyebrow gave it away.
Also, the fake one literally says "copy" and "for motion picture use only" on it.
He What The Question?
![Mossyoldcrow Reddit engagement photo with popcorn labeled](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Mossyoldcrow-Reddit-86538.jpg?width=800&height=1066)
If you're going to use a ring as the O in a word, then you don't have to add an additional O.
That's when you run into issues like this.
That's Not Very Nice
![larrydavid1987 Reddit large leggings with a mannequin in each leg](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/larrydavid1987-Reddit-21430.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=161&left=0&zoom=1.25)
This company stocks plus-size clothing, which is great, but they don't have a very flattering way of displaying it.
Nobody wants to be the size of two mannequin bodies. That's just mean.
Totes Yeet Yo
![maxrip Reddit highway sign says](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/maxrip-Reddit-64223.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Whoever runs this highway sign tried to say something that would resonate with teenagers. They ended up failing miserably.
We really hope this is a joke; otherwise, it's just plain cringey.
A Never-Ending Hole
![V8TITAN Reddit multiple holes through a tile floor](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/V8TITAN-Reddit-20448.jpg?width=800&height=533)
We're not sure what happened in the corner of this old building.
Maybe somebody dropped a cartoonishly heavy bowling ball on the floor and it tore through several stories of concrete.
The Worst Way To Mark A Garden
![mak-nil Reddit kids planted seeds and marked garden with photos of themselves](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/mak-nil-Reddit-85647.jpg?width=800&height=533)
This kindergarten class planted some seeds in an outdoor garden, and then they marked their seeds with pictures of their faces.
Now this looks like the saddest graveyard in the world.
Look Before You Bite
![kelseeannesumma Reddit french fry with metal sticking out of it](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/kelseeannesumma-Reddit-21723.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=314&left=0&zoom=1.06100795756)
This person found a sharp object in one of their french fries. It looks like somebody was trying to go fishing for human beings.
Now this person knows how it feels to be a fish.
Not An Alarm
![justlike_dat Reddit phone calculator that someone mistook for their alarm when drinking. That alarm did not go off](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/justlike_dat-Reddit-96831.jpg?width=800&height=847)
This guy finally woke up (long after 9:45 a.m.) only to discover that his alarm didn't go off because he tried to set an alarm on his calculator.
He must have been pretty drunk.
Not What She Meant
![JustImprovingReddit Reddit text conversation where woman sends photos of self when asked by insurance agent for](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/JustImprovingReddit-Reddit-33411.jpg?width=800&height=776)
When Eva asked Susan to send her photos of the front, rear, and side, she didn't mean of Susan's head.
That didn't stop Susan from sending her photos of her head anyway.
The Worst Way To Cut A Pizza
![Instagram pizza cut strangely](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Instagram-72090.jpg?width=800&height=800)
Pizzas might be the easiest food to divide evenly.
They're perfectly round and you don't actually have to do any math. We're not sure how anybody could mess it up this badly.
How Did That Happen?
![tells whole story Man sitting on couch holding whip, pressing ice pack to his eye](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/tells-whole-story-96295.jpeg?width=800&height=1422)
Here you see a guy holding a whip, as well as an icepack. I wonder what happened here?
Actually, I don't wonder at all. I think we have the whole story.
What If They Crash?
![GallowBoob Reddit cactus arrangement on car dashboard](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/GallowBoob-Reddit-81491.jpg?width=800&height=533)
This person decided to set up a little cactus display in her car right over the passenger side airbag. What happens if they get into an accident and the airbag deploys?
You're going to end up with bits of cactus embedded in your skin.
Not A Horse Trailer
![CJ74U2NV Reddit horse in the back of pickup truck](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/CJ74U2NV-Reddit-93058.jpg?width=800&height=1002)
There are safe ways and unsafe ways to get a horse from point A to point B.
This is an unsafe way. Invest in a horse trailer or get a friend to let you use theirs.
She's One
![Dsclarke1989 Reddit girl fell off chair, first birthday photoshoot](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Dsclarke1989-Reddit-75906.jpg?width=800&height=533)
This mom was trying to take some cute photos of her one-year-old, but the one-year-old didn't want to cooperate. At least now they have this hilarious photo.
Honestly, that's what one-year-olds look like most of the time anyway.
Super Obvious
![CapitanHarkonnen Reddit mugshot man with big wig](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/CapitanHarkonnen-Reddit-73098.jpg?width=800&height=533)
This guy tried to smuggle quite a few ounces of cocaine onto a plane by hiding it under his "hair."
How could he have thought that he would get away with this?
The Worst Place For A Washroom
![DogeCatBear Reddit tiny bathroom](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/DogeCatBear-Reddit-56883.jpg?width=800&height=598)
This washroom is just hanging out on the landing of a staircase without a single door in sight. There is absolutely no privacy in this arrangement.
You're basically pooping on a pedestal.
Quite A Pickle
![astulz Reddit man painted himself into a corner while painting roof](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/astulz-Reddit-51917.jpg?width=800&height=533)
This guy was painting a roof and he forgot to give himself an escape route.
Now he's stuck up there until the paint dries—unless he wants to walk on wet paint.
He Doesn't Care About Signs
![desk image (9) a lot of caught crabs by the beach, man posing with health warning sign saying do not fish because of harmful algae bloom](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/desk-image-9-13114.jpg?width=800&height=533)
This guy isn't just ignoring the health advisory, he's bragging about ignoring the health advisory. That just seems like a very stupid thing to do.
Maybe this is natural selection at work.
Those Walls Are Insufficient
![lish_porter Reddit bathroom stalls with short doors](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/lish_porter-Reddit-10251.jpg?width=800&height=600)
Who would design a public bathroom like this? Those walls are much too low and you definitely don't need a window into the next stall.
This might be the worst bathroom we've ever seen.
He Noped Right Outta There
![Brandon21207 Reddit single paw print in the snow](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Brandon21207-Reddit-24800.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=225&left=0&zoom=1.25)
This cat thought he would be brave and walk on the white stuff that fell from the sky, but after feeling how cold that white stuff really is, he changed his plans.
I changed mine, too!
It's All Wrong
![wrong room man passed out in hotel hallway side by side with image of his credit card in the key card slow](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/wrong-room-87972.jpeg?width=800&height=800)
This guy obviously had a long night. Let's hope his head doesn't hurt too much in the morning.
It's a good thing that the person who took this photo is a semi decent guy who isn't going to steal his Visa.
Looks Like Melted Cheese
![cutting board cutting board in oven melting with garlic break on top of it](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/cutting-board-59866.jpg?width=800&height=807)
This person made the critical mistake of thinking that a plastic cutting board was just as oven-safe as a baking sheet.
I just know the burning plastic smell has to be awful.
She Went 0/2
![karen man makes puns](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/karen-60119.jpg?b=-15&c=7&width=800&height=922&top=0&left=0&zoom=0.884955752212)
It is already pretty tragic that Karen didn't pick up on the cute little pun in the first message.
The fact that she remained confounded after the second one, which included an explanation, is horrifying.
HOW, THOUGH???
![contacts stack of multiple contact lenses together](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/contacts-49425.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Pictured here are 27 separate contact lenses stacked on top of each other that were all removed from a woman's eye.
Did she not realized she had to take out the contacts before putting in a new set?
Bruh, Just Google It
![new zealand p1: people in new zealand die because they are in an impoverished country without the luxuries of clean water everywhere and soaps! p2: new zealand is a developed country similar the australia and the USA. P1: haaha you win todays' stupidest comment on the internet](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/new-zealand-53437.jpg?width=800&height=844)
Anyone who has watched the news or spent significant time on the internet in their life should know that New Zealand is not only a developed country...
But also one of the best places to live in the world.
A Beary Surprising Wake Up
![polar bear polar bear in window bearing teeth at person](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/polar-bear-93805.jpg?width=800&height=533)
This person rented out a cabin in Alaska for a few weeks under the impression that the area was pretty safe for visitors.
That is, until he woke up to meet his neighbor.
Pain.
![apple employee: hi thanks for calling how can I help? customer: I can't shut down my iPhone. E: what iphone do you have? C: iPhone. E: What iPhone model? C: I got an apple iPhone. E: what iPhone model device do you won? Customer: apple](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/apple-42036.jpg?width=800&height=798)
Anyone who has ever worked in retail, serving, or any other customer service related position knows just how painfully difficult it is to communicate with a customer when they just keep giving the same unhelpful information.
Use. Different. Words.
This Is How Accidents Happen
![turn left right turning lane has instructions](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/turn-left-22155.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=0&left=0&zoom=0.676818950931)
I'd like to talk to the person who was in charge of doing this and ask if they merely don't know the difference between left and right or if they were just trying to create chaos.
Seriously.
He Really Screwed Himself On This One
![hipster in magazine Tweet from news source: a man threatened to sue a magazine for using his photo in a story about how all hipsters look the same but it was not him in the picture](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/hipster-in-magazine-90950.jpg?width=800&height=1049)
Can you imagine how embarrassed he must have felt after he made such a big fuss about the magazine image only to accidentally prove their point even further in doing so?
That's gotta burn!
This Is Not The Time!!!
![bear selfie woman takes selfie with bear right behind her](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/bear-selfie-55511.jpg?b=0&c=10&width=800&height=983&top=0&left=0&zoom=0.992929292929)
When a bear wandered into a populated area with people, most had the good sense to make themselves scarce.
This woman, while leaving, decided it was a good time to take a selfie.
It's Not A Hard Conclusion To Come To
![bank account person 1: guys who should i contact if I wanna open a bank account? I'm 19. P2: idk maybe a bank?](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/bank-account-69930.jpg?width=800&height=672)
I understand that adult life is pretty hard to adjust to when you're fresh out of high school, and you'll naturally want to text the group chat for advice...
But it's not hard to know you need to contact a bank to make a bank account.
Girl, Make It Make Sense
![cheating woman says males cheat more, then admits to having cheated multiple times](https://www.postfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/cheating-83819.jpg?width=800&height=676)
When it comes to tales of infidelity, it's hard to know what happens behind closed doors beyond your own experience and the experiences of those around you.
So how is this woman, who has cheated many times, going to say men do it more?
